Hello my lovely and beautiful #feathered friends. I hope you all enjoyed the chop recipe from yesterday.
Today I’m going to talk to you about preening our tail and wings. I’m sure you have all noticed that we spend a significant time of the day preening. Creating dust and feathers everywhere 😉 but keeping our feathers in top condition.
I would never preen my tail and wings in an unfamiliar environment. That’s because when I preen my tail and feathers I can’t pay close attention to what’s going on around me.
Our preening gland is located just above our beautiful red tail. We get a special preening oil from that spot. We often rub our beaks on that spot whilst we preen and then distribute it all over our feathers to keep them healthy.
Akira @ownedbybirds is showing us some preening so her feathers will be well maintained and the dust will be sent to her environment for her human to clean 😁❤️

If we bonded with another parrot we would preen each other. If we don’t have a parrot buddy we will preen you. That way we tell you we love you♥️ and value you as our buddy. .
I love to preen my mums hair, especially if they are wet.
Do you like preening you human my friends? Please share your preening moments with me. .
